Not officially. U can try running the Zune Software in Wine in Linux

 

[QwertyManiac]

No it doesn't work (well enough) in Linux. Sad isn't it?

Anyway there's this beta thing going on over at *www.zune-online.com/forum/linux-support-b12.0/ maybe you can follow that but you never know when it'll end up with a Cease and Desist thanks to back stabbers.

 

[Dark Star]

So any idea will it work or I had to install $#!^ Windows for it

 

[QwertyManiac]

Since that place seems to have just a couple of users using Zune half brokenly on Linux, I think you would need to install Windows, yeah.

Ya but I did not hate MS products .. Its just their sucky OS and s/w for WIndows as far as GPU my mobo did not have GPu and I did not see any reasoin adding a GPU until I buy a whole new comp. cause I did not game and Compiz Fusion runs gr8 on 1.5Gb

[The_Devil_Himself]

^yay can't be used in Linux that sux.
That hack you are talking about isn't very safe.
No ebook support(though possible through firmware upgrade in future)
No games(games for zune by 2008)

Good news:Zune version 2 is coming out.....and unlike Apple M$ is releasing 2.0 firmware upgrade for Zune version 1.
